Over this time period he is said to have tested over 5000 pea plants and from this he derived the law of Mendelian Inheritance He was able to predict the probabilities of certain characteristics being passed onto the offspring of plants. He showed that certain factors‚ now known as genes

and the gene may not function correctly or at all ("Trinucleotide repeats: fragile-x‚" 2008). Huntington’s Disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Males and females are equally likely to inherit the mutant gene. The change in the gene takes place when the gene is passed from parent to child.
